Recovery Is Like A Jigsaw Puzzle

Coming to our 12 Step Meeting is like working on a giant jigsaw puzzle. As we work individually on each of the 12 steps we gain understanding as to the different pieces of our own recovery puzzle. Then when we come together each week we bring with us those new pieces that we have discovered.

At the meeting we share our newly-found pieces with each other. I may have a piece that you need and you, likewise, may have a piece that I need.

The more pieces of the puzzle that are shared with each other, the clearer and more beautiful the image of recovery will become.

But if we do not attend the meetings on a regular basis, we may miss important pieces of the puzzle being shared by others.
